👍👍 It is simply beautiful place to be. I went there after 10 years and it is as stunning as it was. Good place for picnic, BBQ, kids have play area. Or if you wish to do the walking or running which I did around the lake, it is also the option. Toilets are available.

👍👍 Beautiful area, has a track, gym ground and a nice long path to walk down. There's plenty of little resting places where I had the delight of listening to a ukulele as ducks waddled around us. Romantic and calming. There's also a children's playground

👍👍 I absolutely enjoyed going to Blackburn Lake and would recommend to anyone who enjoys nature and walk in the park.

👍 Lovely walk around the perimeter of the lake, which is quite large. Takes a good hour to walk the perimeter. Not a huge amount of parking but you can park in side streets and walk over. Several playgrounds along the way as well as toilets and picnic tables/seats. Small bridge across a section of the...

👍👍 Very well maintained park and long walk track across the lake and gym equipment on the way and great lake view in Manor lakes. Lots of activities for kids, very peaceful and relaxing to visit this place.

👍👍 Awesome spot for a family bbq! It's a shame the carpark is so far from the grounds and you have to lug your gear so far but other than that it's a very nice place!

👍 Two paths to the lake .. much of muchness : both at least 500m walk, easy walk down hill - but if hike back up.. (some stairs one the right hand path (looking toward lake) tho. The river flowing on either side does not run through it, but the still cool water seems pretty good to me.

👍👍 Beautiful place, perfect for nature lovers.

😐 It's ok... I feel alot of stalls are over priced...better Markets in Melbourne
